About Mammelokker

Cultural, Urban Environment, Interesting Places, Sculptures

De Mammelokker is een beeldhouwwerk op het timpaan van een Gents gebouw uit ca. 1741 van bouwmeester David 't Kindt. De naam is ook in gebruik voor het gebouw zelf, een voormalige cipierswoning die aanleunt tegen de lakenhal bij het Belfort van Gent. Het reliëf is een uitbeelding van het Romeinse verhaal van Cimon en Pero. In deze legende redt Pero haar vader van de hongerdood, door hem in de gevangenis te zogen. Hieraan dankt het beeld de naam Mammelokker. Het is sinds 28 december 1936 een beschermd monument en behoort sinds 1999 tot het Unesco-werelderfgoed als onderdeel van het Belfort.
